About This Item
Bangkok : White Lotus, 2001. Paperback. Good/no dj. 1.0. Legendre, A-F. Originally published in 1913 as Au Yunnan et dans le Massif du Kin-Ho, this report on the Legendre Missions travels of scientific and geographic discovery in Szechwan and the Tibetan steppes. A portrait of remote, mountainous regions, their natural phenomena and diverse ethnic groups, Legendres memoir also, by force of circumstance, becomes a dramatic tale of high adventure: engulfed by the Revolution sweeping across China, the Mission comes to a catastrophic end with Legendres work in ruins. Having barely escaped with his life, his retrospective account is marked both by failure and triumph. He offers invaluable perspectives on the regions geography, flora and fauna, and on its rural life and trade. This record of a passionate scientist and a keen observer of Chinas first great twentieth-century revolution, is as informative as it is fascinating.
